‘Pep is pushing him out’ – Man City fans reacts as Guardiola gives Sergio Aguero update ahead of Burnley clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Sergio Aguero is “a few weeks” from being ready to play as the Argentina striker recovers from coronavirus.

The City’s record goalscorer is back in training after self-isolating having first come in close contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus before falling ill with the COVID himself.

The 32-year-old has now come out of quarantine after testing negative for the virus but he has not yet restarted full training.

Guardiola said at a press conference: “He is still not training on the field. He started to move a little yesterday but he will need a few weeks to come back.

“He is negative, this is the most important thing. He is healthy again and now he will come back again. As the top scorer it is important for us to have him back.”

In reaction to the news shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra, many Man City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

Pep is pushing Aguero out of city impliedly.

should have bought or loaned a striker

I don’t understand how this has baffled so many people. Aguero always needs a few weeks of training to get back sharp enough to be match fit. He was never going to jump straight back into the team the instant he tested negative

What a bummer! He is the best striker City has ever had, but this season just passed him by. Should City offer him a contract extension?

Just wish him all the best for whatever challenge await him next season 👍
